The former Geordie Shore star, who was crowned the UK I’m A Celeb jungle queen three years ago, revealed to fellow campmates: "You hear such horror stories about alcoholism and I see it with my own eyes".

In the emotional chat, the 30 year-old said: "You wonder, ‘Is this person ever going to get any better?’ and, ‘Am I going to end up the same?’ or, ‘Is my dad ever going to turn his life around and be the bloke I used to know he was?'"

Vicky spoke out after Australian comedian and fellow campmate Fiona O’Loughlin opened up about her battle with alcoholism, revealing that she is a recovering alcoholic.

Since the show aired, Vicky and fellow camp mate Paul Burrell have faced criticism on Twitter by Aussie viewers for not being famous enough.

One viewer vented to Twitter: "'Guess this is a Geordie Shore person? What are MTV's ratings in Australia? Because last I checked, super low. First time on this show I've had no idea who a "celeb" was."

We don’t think it will be long before the Australian viewers will fall in love with Vicky and we’ve got a feeling that she’s going to be as popular over there as she was in I’m A Celeb over here.
